There is shortage of skill technologists.

There are currently over 500,000 open computing jobs in the US but we only graduated around 43,000 computer science students last year.

These gaps are exaggerated across lines of ethnicity, income level, and gender/expression.

Through <DIV> 2017,

let’s support schools and teachers to prepare students for the high tech 21st century.
